Umpiring in Geelong Cats v West Coast Eagles

[Scotland]

Another amazing Freo contribution.

 

[Scotland]

Ratagolea marks 15 from goal, McGovern flat on his face 5m away. Replay shows clear block by Hawkins. Commentators: 'ooh bit lucky'.

Bigfooty: boo armchair ride WC

I am genuinely going to be amused by how Christian gets Hawkins off. I guess no concussion no case to answer? We didn't lose because of umpiring we lost because we kicked a point in the last quarter.

 

[GROTTO]

Noticed no free kick for the Eagles player, despite laying flat on the ground off the ball.

Of course swinging arm to the head is just a reflex.

Just an ear massage. Tribute to Frawley and the good old 80's.

Accidental.

In fact, the Eagles player that deliberately hit Hawkins clenched fist with his head, may miss Round 1 next year.

Clear headbutt and somehow diving by Schoey,

 

[GoGeta]

9-1 run of frees highlighted by all and sundry. No focus on the fact that good 8 of them were blatant.

12-6 turnaround, silence.

Hawkins shoves McGovern in the back, 'marks' a ball touched by 3 hands, goal.
Stewart collects Yeo in the head, nothing, inside 50, goal.
Ryan not tackled, ball punched out of his hands, holding the ball, inside 50, not sure if goal.
Etc.

And this game is supposedly a free ride to us.

Staggeringly inept coverage we are subjected to.

Wah wah *ing wah wah wahhhhhhh

 

[Les Malone]

shocking umpiring, pretty sure no one know understands dropping the ball, holding the ball or prior opportunity anymore and the differences.

The umpires surely dont

 

[Scotland]

Careless, low impact, high.

Or

Intentional, low impact, body.

Anything else is a week.

 

[Les Malone]

don't think i have seen a game with so much blocking off the ball,

 

[random260]

Look when your in bright colours:

Yellow and blue your easier to spot.

Eagles are essentially wearing a yellow vest every time they play

Staggering levels of entitlement

 

[Wojcinski]

Eagles kissed on the dick and still creating main board threads crying about the umpires?

Special breed in the west.

 

[Unique Name]

Would have been a blowout if the umps didn't step up for Eagles in the middle of the game.

Only reason Toby Greene got off was coz he plays for West Melbourne

 

[Kipps]

Scary as you know the umps will level the ledger for the cats in the second half. I hope we can keep it going.

Bizarre thread as the Eagles had the rub of the green

Greene got off because he didnt eye gauge Bont.

Nah, as much as I don't like the team Freo supporters are fine. West Coast for whatever reason have an acute victim complex. Might have something to do with been given an armchair ride by the umps for at least a decade

Enjoy the win and convince yourself you weren't gifted goals if it makes you feel better.

Geelong were better tonight, but if you think a lot better but held back by the umpires you'll be in for a rude shock next week m

 

[Tristan34]

Which rule says you have to look at the ball?

If you look at the opposition player and not the ball, then it's deemed an intentional block...

Um you get you are talking about Hawkins right? Do you have any clue about his suspension history?
